    董昭字公仁,濟陰定陶人也。舉孝廉,除癭陶長、柏人令,袁紹以為參軍事。紹逆公孫瓚於界橋,鉅鹿太守李邵及郡冠蓋,以瓚兵強,皆欲屬瓚。紹聞之,使昭領鉅鹿。問:「御以何術?」對曰:「一人之微,不能消眾謀,欲誘致其心,唱與同議,及得其情,乃當權以制之耳。計在臨時,未可得言。」時郡右姓孫伉等數十人專為謀主,驚動吏民。昭至郡,偽作紹檄告郡云:「得賊羅候安平張吉辭,當攻鉅鹿,賊故孝廉孫伉等為應,檄到收行軍法,惡止其身,妻子勿坐。」昭案檄告令,皆即斬之。一郡惶恐,乃以次安慰,遂皆平集。事訖白紹,紹稱善。會魏郡太守栗攀為兵所害,紹以昭領魏郡太守。時郡界大亂,賊以萬數,遣使往來,交易市買。昭厚待之,因用為間,乘虛掩討,輒大克破。二日之中,羽檄三至。

Li Shao was the former governor of Jizhou under Yuan Shao and lived in Yewang. He does not appear in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Deeds

When Li Shao was living in Yewang, fighting broke out among the forces east of the passes. Sima Lang urged him not to move to Wen County, pointing out that Yewang and Wen County depended on each other like lips and teeth, and that moving rashly would unsettle the people. Li Shao did not heed him. Later, the people living near the mountains indeed rioted and moved inland, or fell victim to bandit raids. (According to historical records)
